Road salt‚ also called rock salt‚ is sodium chloride‚ chemically combined with NaCl. Na is the chemical abbreviation for sodium and Cl is the abbreviation for chloride. Table salt that we use is exactly the same chemical. The US Environmental Protection Agency has set limits on allowable levels of chloride in water but not sodium. In high concentrations both sodium and chloride can be harmful to aquatic organisms. Sodium is the primary concern for humans‚ as it can be harmful to people with high

Saline Salt Company Analysis The Saline Salt Company production process was simple. Their process involved extracting salt from six tanks of 900‚000 cubic feet of seawater which could only be held on a large plot of land. As land becomes more valuable and rarer‚ expansion of the existing method becomes very difficult. Saline Salt Company could not compete with other companies that were producing larger amounts of salt in shorter amounts of time. Saline Salt Company did not expand as the needs

SALTS EVERYDAY First some words about salts in chemistry. Salts are ionic compounds that can result from the neutralization reaction of an acid and a base. They are composed of related numbers of cations (positively charged ions) and anions (negative ions) so that the product is electrically neutral (without a net charge). Salts can appear to be clear and transparent (sodium chloride)‚ opaque‚ and even metallic and lustrous (iron disulfide). In many cases the apparent opacity or transparency are

Every winter road salt is used on sidewalks‚ roads‚ and highways to melt snow and ice. These are to prevent human activates from turning into accidents. When the snow melts the road salt gets dissolved into the melted ice and snow and becomes a formula. This formula sinks into the land (soil mostly) and kills vegetation. The purpose for this exit project experiment is to find out what are the affects of road salt on plants. The reason for doing this lab is to find out what a
